Default John Henry's PPs (via GPK)
A look at John Henry'a PPs denotes a stark departure from today's racing.Look at the number of runners listed. There are many graded stakes with 9 or more runners. even in California. Compare to the sparse fields in major races today.

As they say on FARK... "This thread is useless without pictures"... (Or the actual PP's..)

Will scan John Henry PP's when I get a moment later this a.m.

So he wins a MSW event in his debut, wins an allowance race, and then runs in another MSW in his 6th start?

Also, where is/was JND?

His 6th career start was just a special weight race ... it wasn't restricted to maidens.

To be fair there were also 9 stakes which had fields of 6 or less...

How about JH getting trounced in a $20,000 claimer in '78, then two years later, winning six straight graded stakes.
